What to eat, drink and do daily to feel better in perimenopause

Épisode 83

samedi 1 mars 2025 • Durée 16:41

What if I told you that you’re not exhausted because you’re getting older.

You’re exhausted because your body isn’t getting what it needs.

Most women in perimenopause think they need more coffee, stricter diets, or harder workouts to fight fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain. But what if the real problem is how you’re fueling your body?

After competing in a full-contact national box lacrosse championship at 50, playing against women half my age in 2-hour games, five days straight, in 30-36º heat, I saw firsthand how nutrition, hydration, and recovery can make or break your energy levels - no matter your age.

Key Takeaways:

✔ The biggest fueling mistakes most women in perimenopause make - and why they’re making you feel more exhausted, not better.
✔ Why carbs are your friend, not your enemy (and how cutting them can actually backfire on your metabolism, sleep, and hormones).
✔ How to eat, drink, and train smarter so you stop crashing mid-afternoon and start feeling strong again - without extreme diets or over-exercising.

Sneak Peek:

“Some of the younger women were struggling. They were exhausted halfway through because they weren’t eating enough, weren’t eating the right things, and weren’t recovering properly. And I see this all the time with women in perimenopause too.”

Your body isn’t working against you - it just needs the right support.

The way you fuel yourself directly affects how you feel every day. If you’re tired of crashing at 3 p.m., feeling sluggish no matter what you eat, or wondering why your workouts aren’t making a difference, this episode is for you.

Listen now and start making the small shifts that lead to big results.

The Biggest Mistakes Women Make When Trying to Fix Their Perimenopause Symptoms

Épisode 82

samedi 22 février 2025 • Durée 25:37

You’re doing everything “right” - eating well, exercising, taking the supplements, maybe even starting HRT - so why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck in a body that isn’t cooperating?

If perimenopause has left you frustrated and wondering why nothing is working, chances are you’re making one of these three common mistakes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Most women are given generic, one-size-fits-all advice when it comes to perimenopause. But here’s the truth - what worked in your 30s won’t work now. In this episode, I break down the biggest mistakes women make when trying to fix their perimenopause symptoms and what actually works instead.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✔ Why HRT isn’t a magic fix: and how starting it at the wrong time can make symptoms worse, not better
✔ The real reason you still feel awful: and the overlooked health factors (beyond estrogen) that could be driving your symptoms
✔ Why DIY-ing your way through perimenopause is keeping you stuck: and how to finally get clarity on what your body actually needs

If you’ve been spinning your wheels, trying everything but still feeling awful, this episode will give you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

SNEAK PEEK:

“Trying to ‘balance your hormones’ in perimenopause is like chasing the end of a rainbow - it’s just not going to happen. Instead of focusing on balance, we need to focus on helping your body adapt to these changes.”

If you’re tired of wasting time, money, and energy on things that don’t work, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually makes a difference for your body in perimenopause.

Busy and burnt out? Easy self-care hacks every woman over 40 needs

Épisode 72

samedi 30 novembre 2024 • Durée 34:23

Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by the holiday chaos? It’s not just your to-do list that’s running you ragged.

This episode isn’t just another pep talk encouraging you to do less, and have more mani/pedis or weekends away. It’s a real-world guide from a busy homeschooling mum of 4 kids, to help you break the cycle of burn out and actually feel good and enjoy this holiday season.

Key takeaways:
In this episode, we’re diving into the difference between self-care and self-comfort and how small shifts in your habits can help you feel more energised, focused, and calm during the busiest time of year.

You’ll learn:

Why self-comfort might be sabotaging your energy (and how to swap it for self-care that truly supports you).
Simple, practical self-care hacks that don’t require hours of your time, like mindful moments, movement, and nourishing your body.
The surprising power of reflection helps you stay grounded, avoid burnout, and feel more in control - even during the busiest weeks of the year.

“Self-care is a long-term investment in your well-being. It’s not necessarily a quick fix, but it can help you feel better in the short term too. It’s all about choosing habits that move you closer to your goals and not just easing that stress or feeling blah at the moment. And that’s what I would call self-comfort.”

If you’ve been putting everyone else’s needs first and feeling like you’re running on fumes, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with strategies you can put into practice today - no fluff, just real solutions that make a difference.

Emotional eating during stressful times

Épisode 71

samedi 23 novembre 2024 • Durée 31:38

Emotional eating isn’t a lack of willpower - it’s your brain trying to make you feel safe in the easiest way possible.

If you’ve ever found yourself turning to chocolate, wine, or chips after a long day, you’re not alone - but it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Key takeaways
Discover the real reasons behind emotional eating and how perimenopause, holiday stress, and subconscious habits play a role. This episode breaks down:

Why you eat on autopilot: Understand how the brain’s reward system strengthens emotional eating patterns - and why stress and overwhelm make this worse.
How the festive season fuels emotional eating: Learn how family dynamics, unresolved emotions, and holiday busyness trigger this cycle.
The first step to breaking the cycle: Why self-compassion and curiosity are essential tools for creating intentional, lasting change.

Sneak peek
“Knowing what food to eat is the easy part. The hard part is working with your mind - your monkey mind - stepping out of autopilot mode, and living intentionally. It’s about giving yourself permission to feel what’s there and learning to interrupt the patterns.”

This episode is for every woman who’s tired of feeling trapped by emotional eating - especially during stressful times. Listen now to gain clarity, feel empowered, and learn the first steps toward change.

Tune in to the full episode now to uncover how emotional eating works, why it feels so hard to break, and the tools you can start using today.

Tired of people-pleasing? How to set boundaries that stick

Épisode 70

samedi 16 novembre 2024 • Durée 34:36

Tired of saying yes? How setting boundaries can change everything - especially at the end of the year.

If you’re worn out from always trying to keep everyone else happy, it might be time to rethink your approach to saying yes.

In this episode, we’re cutting through the guilt and tackling why boundaries are so essential - especially for women over 40 who are ready to put their well-being first. Learn why saying no isn’t selfish, how people-pleasing can mess with your health - especially in perimenopause - and how setting boundaries can make the holidays (and every other day) more manageable.

Key Takeaways:

Understand why people-pleasing is a hard habit to break: Discover how cultural conditioning and your own primal brain might be working against you, making “no” feel like the wrong answer - even when it’s exactly what you need.
Learn the real costs of people-pleasing in perimenopause: Find out how always saying yes can damage your health, relationships, and self-worth, and why it’s essential to put yourself back on your own priority list.
Get practical strategies for guilt-free boundaries and saying no: We’ll talk through how to start setting boundaries that feel right for you, with scripts and examples that make it easier to stand your ground without feeling guilty.

Sneak Peek
“It’s really important to know that you don’t make people feel the way that they feel. That is always their choice… Our thoughts around what’s happening create those feelings. So if someone reacts poorly to your boundary, it’s their thought about it - not your worth or value as a person.”

The appetite hormones messing with your hunger in perimenopause (and how to spot them)

Épisode 67

samedi 19 octobre 2024 • Durée 25:02

Is your hunger real, or are your hormones playing tricks on you?

If you’re constantly feeling hungry or craving carbs, even after eating well, it’s not about willpower - it’s about your hormones. In this episode, I’ll help you understand why your appetite is suddenly out of control and what’s really behind those cravings.

Key takeaways
In this episode, we break down the science behind your appetite and cravings, especially in perimenopause. You’ll learn:

• Why intuitive eating might not work for you during perimenopause - your hunger signals aren’t always reliable when your hormones are imbalanced.
• How key appetite hormones like leptin and ghrelin get disrupted, causing constant hunger, intense cravings, and even weight gain - no matter how well you’re eating.
• What you can do to identify the signs of hormonal imbalance and start taking steps to regain control over your appetite and your body.

If you've been wondering why your usual diet isn't working, why you're constantly hungry, or why you're gaining weight even though you haven’t changed your eating habits, this episode will provide the answers you need.

Sneak Peek
"There's lots of body positive practitioners who encourage or focus on that intuitive eating, call it like an anti-diet approach… I think this approach is short-sighted because it overlooks a crucial reality: when your hormones and biochemistry are out of balance, your hunger signals aren’t reliable."

If your appetite feels out of control and your cravings are making it harder to stay on track, understanding what’s happening inside your body is the first step. This episode is packed with insights to help you understand the root cause of your hunger and give you the tools to start making changes.

Listen to the full episode to learn how you can spot the hormone shifts messing with your hunger and start feeling more in control.
